Wood is becoming an increasingly valuable source of energy due to high fossil fuel prices, the need to reduce fossil fuel emissions, ongoing conflicts in major oil producing states, and negative effects of agriculture-based bioenergy solutions on food production. At the same time, there is a large scale mountain pine beetle epidemic in British Columbia and Alberta that could threaten the boreal forest as well. Many policy analysts have suggested salvaging these affected areas for wood energy.

由于化石燃料价格高企、减少化石燃料排放的需求、主要产油国持续的冲突以及基于农业的生物能源解决方案对粮食生产的负面影响，木材正成为一种越来越有价值的能源。与此同时，不列颠哥伦比亚省和阿尔伯塔发生了大规模的山地松甲虫流行，这也可能威胁北方森林。许多政策分析人士建议拯救这些受影响的地区，以获得木材能源。
